Yin Shaojie smiled but didnât say a thing.
He only wanted to carry her for a while more.
They entered the office and Yin Shaojie closed the door closed behind them.
Mu Xiaoxiao jumped down from his embrace and stretched.
In the next second, she was embraced by the large figure behind her and her petite frame was nestled into his chest.
âDid you know how worried I was?â Yin Shaojie sighed as he kissed her neck with his sexy lips.
Mu Xiaoxiao paused. Suddenly, she said, âIâm sorry.â
âWhy are you apologizing?â Yin Shaojieâs eyes narrowed. He loosened his grip and turned her over to face himself.
His dark eyes stared into her little face, catching every minute expression she made.
Mu Xiaoxiao said guiltily, âAre you angry that I hung up on you earlier? Iâm sorry. I was asking Jun Zeye something.â
Her emotions started to unravel as she thought of his answer again.
âYeah, I am a little angry.â Yin Shaojie dropped his gracious pretense and said frankly, âOnce I knew that you were alone with him I was furious. I really wanted to snatch you away and smack you!â
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Yin Shaojieâs gaze locked onto hers. âLet me guess. Did you ask him if he was Ah Ze? You suspect that heâs Ah Ze, right?â
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs lips moved as she stared at him with a shocked gaze. She said dazedly, âNo⦠Actually, I didnât suspect that he was Ah Ze, Ah Ze has already⦠passed away. I suspected that he is related to Ah Ze. He could be Ah Zeâs brother, relative, or something. Ah Ze might have mentioned me to himâ¦â
But what was weird was why both he and Jun Zeye thought that she suspected that Jun Zeye was Ah Ze.
Yin Shaojie furrowed his brow and absent-mindedly touched his nose. âDid you ask him? What did he tell you?â
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him curiously. âHe said that he wasnât Ah Ze and that I didnât need to know what his relationship with Ah Ze is.â
At least she knew from this answer that Jun Zeye was related to Ah Ze.
But she was clueless as to why he had refused to tell her.
Actually, she didnât need to know if Jun Zeye was related to Ah Ze. He could be a relative or a family member and so what if she knew? Ah Ze wasnât going to be revived.
Now that she knew that Jun Zeye was related to Ah Ze, the riddle in her head was answered.
Even though Jun Zeye had denied it, she still believed that he had been protecting her and not using her like he had said.
Yin Shaojie rubbed her cheek with his finger. âWhat do you think of it? Are you going to question him further?â
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head.
Yin Shaojie could tell from his expression that she was tired. He led her over to the sofa and gave her a cushion.
Mu Xiaoxiao hugged the cushion instinctively.
There was something in her gaze, as though there was something she was still unsure about.
Her thoughts arranged, she jerked her head up. Looking at Yin Shaojie, she asked, âJie, did you suspect that he was Ah Ze? And why?â
Yin Shaojie paused. He had thought that this topic had been dismissed and didnât expect her to ask about it again.
